Hum... we certainly need more than 32 bits for memory addressing, but it's a
different breed of bus width than general computing bandwidth. In that
respect, it's been since 1996 that intel managed to squeeze more than 32 bits
addressing in the Xeon line of processor. But as general use of 64 bits
computing goes, it's uneeded for home use - I'm not speaking about industrial
requirements here. Of course, catia and such need more, but you're unlikely
to toy with that kind of application at home.
